Just a teenager addicted to reading anything and everything, but particularly history. I am here as part of the exodus from Goodreads' increasing censorship. I am not yet sure if I am going to leave Goodreads completely, but this is plan B.

A brief but enjoyable memoir of Orwell's time in the P.O.U.M. (Workers' Party of Marxist Unification) fighting against Franco and the Fascists. Along with containing some of Orwell's most memorable experiences from his time in revolutionary Spain, the book also contains details of the fracturing of the Republican factions and the eventual suppression of the Trotskyists, Anarchists and left wing Socialists by the more numerous Russian backed "Stalinist" Communist forces.
